Mahatma Gandhi

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, known as Mahatma Gandhi, was a preeminent Indian activist and philosopher whose synthesis of satyagraha (truth-force) and ahimsa (nonviolence) reshaped modern political ethics. His seminal works, including Hind Swaraj (1909) and his autobiography The Story of My Experiments with Truth (1927), critique industrial civilization while advancing a spiritually grounded model of social change. Gandhi’s integration of ascetic practice with civil disobedience profoundly influenced global movements for civil rights and decolonization.
